Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Wispy Hair

babysugar — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:00:00 -0800

I lived for the luxe locks I sported during and immediately after my pregnancies. I paraded around like a supermodel, tossing my hair from side to side as if everyone in the world were mesmerized by my thick, shiny strands that seemed to grow by the second. I was even prepared for the postpartum hair loss many women experience once their pregnancy hormones subside.

What I wasn't prepared for was the wispy bangs that seemed to appear overnight around my face. I awoke one morning, about five months after delivering my son, and as I stood there blow drying my hair, I couldn't get the lion's mane of wisps to stay down. I tried different hair serums, headbands, and hats before I just gave into the baby-fine hair that seemed to stay with me for months. In fact, I would marvel in the fact that my tot was ready for his first haircut around the same time my wisps finally blended in with the rest of my hair!

Slick Back Your Child's Hair With Le Baby Gel

Ever wonder how parents get their lil ones' hair into those funky fauxhawks? Instead of using their own hair gel and greasing up their tot's strands with lots of funky chemicals, now there's a product to solve all of their unruly hair problems.

Le Baby hair gel ($10) is hypoallergenic, paraben- and sulfate-free, and never tested on animals. Created by a mom who was trying to hold her daughter's wispy flyaway hair in place without using products that would aggravate her eczema, the all-natural gel is strong enough to tame frizzies, but still gentle enough to wash out easily. All of which means that your budding Kingston or Maddox can lather on all the gel they need to grow their spikes even higher.

Switch Up Your Color: Look Fabulous With a Radiant New Shade

Sponsor — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:00:01 -0700

Stuck in a hair-color rut? Thinking of trying a fresh shade on for size? Here are some great reasons to treat your locks to an exciting new hue.

Transform your image. New hair color lets you explore an alter ego, whether you’re looking for a dramatic change or just want to rev up your current hue. Always wanted to go platinum blond? Longing for fiery auburn locks? Think you should have been born a brunette? Now’s the time to try your dream shade.

Look 10 years younger. A hot new hair color can banish gray and take years off your looks. Make sure to pick a product that’s specifically formulated to cover gray. Superior Preference® offers fade-defying color that covers gray beautifully.

Update your style. You may keep an eye out for the latest fashion trends, but no stylish wardrobe is complete without the ultimate accessory - gorgeous hair color that flatters your looks and expresses your personality.

Go for the gloss. Nothing restores shine to lackluster locks like fresh hair color. Regularly coloring smooths hair’s surface, keeping it glossy, healthy looking, and vibrant.

Unleash your inner diva. Why settle for mousy, plain, or understated when you can be bold, vibrant, and outrageously stunning? Express your spotlight-stealing side with shades like luminous blond, rich brunette, radiant red, or warm cinnamon.

Lil Tip: Pick Your Battles

LilSugar — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:00:50 -0800

Sometimes you have to meet your kid in the middle. My daughter is pretty easygoing so when she asked for pink hair, I knew I'd be able to talk her into something a little less appearance altering. At four and a half, dye was out of the equation even if she pressed, but I was willing to cave on a wig. Then, an attachable pink hair piece caught her eye while we were passing Claire's at the mall. For $6, it brought a shock to her locks, me a peace of mind, and everyone was happy.

babysugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:15:00 -0700

In the rush of a school morning, the less you have to think about, the more likely you are to get out the door on time. That's why I was so excited to find these adorable days-of-the-week barrettes ($60). The set comes with a variety of colors that are sure to match your daughter's Fall wardrobe.

The handmade clips are made of individually stitched pieces of felt with the clip sewn inside, so there is no glue to get stuck in your lil one's hair. With clips preassigned for each day of the week, that's one less argument you and your princess have as you try to make it to the schoolhouse on time.
